Windows of the World - GRAM003 | Musica

"Windows of the World", written for the Royal Norwegian Navy Band, provides solo opportunities for several principal players. Peter Graham takes us first to Latin America, then to Japan and onwards to Saharan Africa. We get a gentle reprieve via a nostalgic hint of the British Isles before we land in the melting pot of all styles, the USA. In this final section the driving swing section is abruptly stopped and a drum cadenza leads us back into the opening Latin music.

The six movements can also be performed separately:

1. Amazonia (1'50)
2. Rainforest (2'50)
3. The Rising Sun (3'50)
4. Drums of Thunder (3'20)
5. Celtic Dream (5'20)
6. Earth Walk (4'00)
